How to Transfer Oil From One Cartridge to Another Without a Syringe
It’s no secret that oil cartridges can be expensive. However, if you’re not careful, you can end up wasting a lot of oil in the process of transferring it from one cartridge to another. In this blog post, we will teach you how to transfer oil from one cartridge to another without a syringe. Follow these simple steps, and you’ll be able to save yourself some money in the process!
While many people are aware of how to use a syringe or dropper properly, some may not know that it is possible to transfer oil from one cartridge to another without the need for any equipment. This can be done using something as simple as an empty petroleum jelly jar, which only needs to be filled with enough oil for one cartridge. The process is done in some easy steps. Read on to know more!
11 Ways on How to Transfer Oil From One Cartridge to Another Without a Syringe:
1. Pour the Desired Amount of Oil:
When you have both cartridges ready, turn one upside down so that the mouthpiece is facing up. Now, remove the rubber tip at the end of the cartridge with your fingers. Depending on how much oil you want to transfer, you can now pour the desired amount of oil into your mouth or another cartridge. If you are using a petroleum jelly jar, ensure that it is clean before pouring the oil inside. You can also use small funnels if you want to be more precise with the amount of oil being transferred.
2. Use a Clean Rag to Wipe Out the Inside Cartridge:
You may also use a clean rag at this point to wipe out the inside of the first cartridge if you would rather not put it in your mouth. After wiping out the first cartridge with a rag, you can move on to the next step, which is pouring oil into the second cartridge. You can also use a paper towel or any other clean cloth for this step. It is essential to ensure the inside of both cartridges are clean and free from any debris before continuing with the transfer process.
3. Pour Oil From One Cartridge Into Another:
Place one cartridge mouthpiece down into your mouth, then carefully pour the desired amount of oil from it into another cartridge using a syringe or any other object. You can use a syringe with an eyedropper or just about anything that you know will fit into the cartridge, opening tightly. The best method is to hold the cartridge vertically and pour the oil in slowly. This will help prevent any spills or accidents. You can also use a funnel to make the transfer process easier and more precise.
4. Oil Tips:
There are many different tips that you can use to pour oil from one cartridge to another without a syringe. Some tricks include using the mouthpiece part of the mouthpiece’s needle, like the one shown in the photo above or with a standard needle. You can also use the tip of a pen or pencil, but make sure it is clean and has no ink on it. However, the best tip is to use a syringe with an eyedropper if you want to save time and make the transfer process more efficient. It is also important to keep in mind that you should never use a metal object or anything with sharp edges as it can damage the cartridge and potentially cause accidents.
5. Use A Knife or Scissors:
If you are using an eyedropper syringe with a needle, you can leave both cartridges as they are and put the liquid into another cartridge like mentioned above. However, if you would rather transfer the oil with a syringe without a needle, you can use either a knife or scissors to cut the mouthpiece off the cartridge.
You may want to cover both sides of your mouth around where you are cutting with your hand if any oil leaks out. Once the mouthpiece has been removed from one cartridge, you can then pour the oil from that cartridge into another one.
6. Use a Funnel:
If you’re using a funnel to transfer your oil, you’ll need to remove the rubber tip from the cartridge first. After that, insert the funnel into the opening of the cartridge and slowly pour in the desired amount of oil until it’s full. Once done, you can then remove the funnel and replace the rubber tip. This method is great for those who want to be extra precise with their measurements.
You can also use a funnel to transfer oil from one cartridge to another if you’re using a syringe or dropper. In this case, you’ll need to remove the rubber tip from both cartridges and place them side by side. Then, carefully pour the desired amount of oil into the emptier cartridge using the funnel. This method ensures that all the oil is transferred without any spills or accidents.
7. Use a Straw:
Remove the rubber tip from the cartridge and insert a straw into the opening. Then, with your mouth on the other end of the straw, quickly remove the cartridge from your mouth and insert it into another one with oil in it. This method requires some skill, but it can be a quick and efficient way to transfer oil from one cartridge to another.
But before you try this method, it’s essential to keep in mind that using a straw can also introduce bacteria into the cartridge, which can affect the quality and taste of your oil. So be sure to clean and sanitize the straw before use.
8. Use a Metal Rod or Pen:
Another method for transferring your oil is with a metal rod or pen (anything hard). First, remove the rubber tip from one cartridge and use the pen or rod to push down the other cartridge’s tip until roughly one centimeter deep. After that, you can remove your pen or metal rod and pour the oil out of one cartridge into another by inserting a syringe or any similar object into the first cartridge’s opening.
You can also use this method with a syringe without a needle by inserting the end of the syringe into the cartridge’s opening and pushing it down to extract the oil. This method may require some practice, but it can be an effective way to transfer oil from one cartridge to another.
9. Use a Cotton Swab:
This method is easiest if using a cotton swab to transfer your oil. Just push the swab tip into one cartridge and then dip it into the other cartridge used for collecting. Finally, you can remove the cotton swab from the cartridge and dispose of it. This method is useful if you only want to transfer a small amount of oil and don’t have any other tools available. You can also reuse the cotton swab multiple times if needed.
10. Use a Glass dropper:
If you’re using a glass dropper to transfer your oil, you will need to remove the rubber tip from the cartridge first. After that, insert the dropper into the opening of the cartridge and slowly pour in the desired amount of oil until it’s full. Then, carefully remove the dropper from the cartridge and replace the rubber tip. This method is great for those who prefer to use glass tools or are concerned about plastic leaching into their oil.
11. Bite Down on the cartridge:
If you don’t have anything else to use, you can always transfer your oil by biting down on the cartridge. Be sure to have a cloth or something nearby to wipe up any messes that may occur. After transferring the oil, it’s best to put the cartridges in a cool, dark place until you’re ready to use them again. This method is not recommended as it can be messy and unhygienic. It’s best to use one of the methods mentioned above for a more precise and controlled transfer process.
As you can see, there are many different ways to transfer your oil from one cartridge to another without a syringe. Just use whatever works best for you, and be sure to take your time to don’t spill any oil. Enjoy!
Some Tips and Suggestions:
- Some cartridge brands have extremely tough tips. If this is the case, do not twist the tip with pressure or force to get it off. Instead, apply heat to the information with a lighter for about 5 seconds. Be very careful as it is easy to overheat and damage the cartridge.
- If you are using a syringe, make sure that the needle is long enough to reach the oil in the cartridge. If not, you can either buy a longer hand or use a needle from a different syringe.
- If you are using a needle-less cartridge, make sure that the hole at the end of the cartridge is big enough for the oil to flow through. If it is not, you can either enlarge the hole with a heated needle or a toothpick or buy a cartridge with a bigger hole.
- Before you start, make sure that you have everything you need: the cartridge you want to fill, the cartridge you are transferring the oil from, a syringe (optional), and a lighter (optional).
- Fill the syringe with some oil from the cartridge from which you are transferring the oil.
- Insert the needle into the hole at the end of the cartridge you want to fill and push down on the syringe to release the oil.
- If you use a syringe, push the plunger down to get all of the air out of it and draw some more oil. Do this until you have extracted all of the oil from your original cartridge.
- Be cautious and precise when transferring the oil to avoid any spills or wastage.
- Use the appropriate method depending on how much oil you want to transfer and what tools are available to you.
- Always clean and sanitize any tools used for transferring oil to ensure the best quality and taste of your oil.
- Store your cartridges in a cool, dark place until you’re ready to use them again.
- Be sure to check the compatibility and safety of using any method with your specific cartridge brand before proceeding.
- Use caution when handling any heating tools and make sure to follow all safety precautions.
- Remember to practice good hygiene by washing your hands before and after handling any cartridges or tools.
- Keep an eye on the expiration date of your cartridges to ensure you’re using fresh oil for the best experience.
- If possible, try to transfer the oil from one cartridge to another as soon as possible to avoid any degradation in quality or potency.
By following these tips and suggestions, you can safely and efficiently transfer your oil from one cartridge to another without the use of a syringe. Whether you choose to use a metal rod, cotton swab, glass dropper, or any other method mentioned above, always remember to take your time and handle the cartridges and tools with care to avoid any mishaps. Enjoy your oil!
Do You Need to Use Professional?
